Saturdays
Outside, a sunset, a dark jewel mounted in time, and there is a
city out there, a low blind city of men who never saw you. Evening
hushes or sings out. Someone is lifting down from the cross the longings
driven into the piano. And always, the multitude of your beauty.

Despite your coldness your beauty scatters its wonders across the
years. In you lies fortune, as in the new leaf, spring. Now I am almost
no one, I am barely that longing that fades away in the dusk. Pleasure
lies in you as cruelty lies in swords.

Night weighs hard on the window grille. In the austere parlor our
two blind solitudes grope for each other. The milky whiteness of your
flesh outlives the setting sun. There is, in our love, a suffering that
comes to resemble the soul.

That's Theresa May hiding away there by the back window.

She's riding the city buses in streetlady drag.

Here she's just hoicked up a great smacking wet loogie

and smeared it all over the window

to conceal her presence among The People.

She's been hoping Precedent Drumpf will invite her to the Gold House.

She's pretty sure he'll have appreciated

her scolding of Kerry for taking on Bibi the Bad.

That should help sink

a little more cement

into the special relationship.

Just so long as the great Orange Ronnie

to her simpering Maggie

never susses to this strange catting around of hers

on the buses.

Not good! Not good!

Dying empires ought to stick together!

Theresa May has distanced the UK from Washington over John Kerry’s condemnation of
Israel, in comments that appear to be designed to build bridges with the
incoming Trump administration.Kerry, the outgoing secretary of state, delivered a robust speech this
week that criticised Benjamin Netanyahu’s government as the “most
rightwing coalition in Israeli history” and warned that the rapid
expansion of settlements in the occupied territories meant that “the
status quo is leading toward one state and perpetual occupation”.The prime minister’s spokesman said May thought it was not
appropriate to make such strongly worded attacks on the makeup of a
government or to focus solely on the issue of Israeli settlements.“We do not believe that it is appropriate to attack the composition
of the democratically elected government of an ally,” he said. “The
government believes that negotiations will only succeed when they are
conducted between the two parties, supported by the international
community.”

Trump, who made stridently pro-Israel comments during the election
campaign, responded angrily to the resolution, claiming: “The big loss
for Israel in the United Nations will make it much harder to negotiate
peace. Too bad, but we will get it done anyway!” Israel reacted
furiously to Kerry’s comments, with Netanyahu calling them “skewed”.

May is known to be keen to kindle a close relationship with the Trump
White House. The UK’s ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch, has even said he
hopes it will emulate the rapport between Margaret Thatcher and her US
counterpart Ronald Reagan.
